Has any been able to get 3G to work in the USA yet?
thank you,
jdm
I would say that it is imminent that the US version of the S730 will be released soon. AT&T or T-Mobile may pick it up (T-Mobile's 3G network in NYC just went live, but there are no phones). If so, I would suspect that some of these crafty folks (like Alcaline) would be able to extract the radio ROM, and make it available for the S730 that we all have (the european version).
But, here's the most important part... It all depends on whether or not the European version of the S730 has the radio chipsets that will support 3G on the frequencies that are 3G in the US. There is no known answer "available" to this, so it can only be discovered by testing.
The current S730 uses the 2100 band for 3G speeds and ATT is deploying 3g on 1900 and 850 I believe and they sell a decent ammount of 3g phones. T-Mobile is working on setting one up on the 1700/2100 band but I dont care for T-Mobile.
I have watched my phone at times flip into 3G mode for a few minutes then revert back to Edge, its trying but cant work properly without the right frequencies.
Check out the chipset datasheet. Bottom of page three explains the specific radio chipset combos and their support for different freqs.
I suppose, to save on manufacturing costs, they could have used the single chipset that supports 3G on all freqs (RTR 6285), but I believe this is unlikely due to the difference in model number that was submitted to the FCC (European version: WING220, US version: WING200).
Who knows though.
3G in US
Hermes models had different model #'s HERM100, HERM200 and had the same radios, in some cases minor difference such as case style, i.e removal of video calling camera etc. With any luck we have the RFR6500 + RTR6275 Combo, or as you mentioned the RTR6285 and just not a radio rom that allows 1900+850 3G. I was looking on the FCC site and they have some interesting screen shots, one of which shows one(s730) with what appears to be the front camera covered up and another which shows a radio rom(R 0.27.03.05B), one that, to do the tests would likely need to support 1900+850. Check Page 250 / 11 in the PDF. However, also in the test is the lack of any mention of 2100 Mhz test, which would suggest that either the US 3G Radio won't support 2100Mhz or that it indeed has different hardware that won't support 2100Mhz. At any rate it would be interesting to know if anyone has tried to flash one of the pre-prod roms for the wing 200 onto the wing220 and see if they are able to connect up to 1900+850 3G.
http://gullfoss2.fcc.gov/prod/oet/forms/blobs/retrieve.cgi?attachment_id=890469&native_or_pdf=pdf
I suppose only time will tell.
Wow... nice investigative work. Very interesting. I'll start hunting around for the ROM.
[edit]
Searched google and, my favorite, napalm with no luck. I wonder if we can lure an FCC testing engineer into the XDA-dev realm. muahahaha
I was searching some of the other posts, and it appears that most of the pre-prod radio rom testing had been focused on GPS functionality. Has anyone been able to throw on any of the pre-prod radios with an ATT SIM and tested to see if it can connect to WCDMA -> US Band (1900+850) ??
I have no possibility to check the 3G in the USA from my location in Norway.
But just to get this clear, because I have changed my Radio more often then most people change their underweare.
Is everybody able to select WCDMA and then US Band in the settings?
I dont know if this is selectable on all devices or if this is made available after my radio flahings.
I believe all S730's have the following options available.
Network Type:
Auto
GSM
WCDMA
Band Type:
Auto
US Band
Euro Band
Japan Band
For it to actually be able to operate on all of these frequencies I believe it would need to use the the RTR6285 chipset as the other 2 combos would not support all of the different frequencies combinations.
US Band -> GSM 850+1900 / UMTS 850+1900 (ATT)
Euro Band -> GSM 900+1800 / UMTS 2100
Japan Band -> UMTS 2100+800 (not positive on this one)
If I change band to from Auto -> WCDMA I do not get an error but no 3G Icon and all calls fail. If I then go and change to US Band while having WCDMA selected it indicates that it cannot change to that GSM/UMTS Band. Also interesting, If I stay on WCDMA and select Euro Band, no error, but of course all calls fail. I then tried to change to Japan Band, no error and no phone calls. Finally I am still on WCDMA and I switch to US Band and I get the error that indicates I cannot change to that band. So, I would be interested to know Alcaline if you see the same behavior on some of the other radios you have been trying to see they allow the switch to WCDMA / US Band combo.
Thanks
Can anyone else confirm this behavior on any of the other Radios out there?

I have the ability to tell my phone I am in the states, but it does nothing (default settings though)
Was the US version (WING200) of this phone ever released? Or has anyone gotten the EU version to work on any US 3G networks? Wondering about T-Mobile...
This is just an idea for a week now i have talked to reps left and right, tier level 3 from T-Mobile states the 3g is working on 1700 and 2100.
If u dont belive me check for yourself change the band to just utms 2100+800, try to make a video call and i will ask you just for a gsm network, just the same while you are on that band leave yourself a voicemail, you will see it showing up that u have a voicemail, therefor the phone registers to the 3g network.
All we need is a radio with gsm 900+1800 and umts 2100, and tilt users on t-mobile will be able to roam on 3g.
Just want to tank the community here for helping everyone and for giving everyone a chance
Oh btw if you wanna support this idea rate this thread.

Okay, so I changed my UMTS band manually from Auto to 2100+800, left myself a voice mail, and my phone doesn't pick it up that I have a voicemail. My current dialer doesn't have a video call option. Do I need to be in an area where they have 3G already?

You do have to be in an area where they have 3G, i apologize for forgetting to mention that!
You can allso call T-Mobile talk to someone in tech support and see if 3G is available where u live, also confirm that they use the 2100mhz band too
I was looking at some programs like bandswitch to see if i can get it to go on the 2100mhz band

I saw the 3G icon appear briefly on my Tilt with TMO here at work.
I have to do more testing around the neighborhood and see what I get.
If it comes on sometime and stays I'll run a speed test and report what I get.

Are you in an area that is supposed to have 3g?
You can check here
http://coverage.t-mobile.com/?MapType=Data&WT.mc_n=3GData_coveragerighttout2WT.mc_t=OnsiteAd
Yes, according to the map I am right in the middle of 3G territory.
I will have to go outside and see what I get, my building seems to shield most of the Tmo signal that is available. I'll try and remember to post back here later - especially if I encounter 3G again!
its not will by wotk on tmobile network you need 1700Mhz for upload and 2100Mhz for download and tilt is not working with 1700Mhz.http://tmonews.com/support/index.php?title=3G

I've talked to several reps that said they don't use separate bands for upload and download.
what i wanna know is what rom is BISCUIT using to be able to change his umts in the first place. lets start the testing there.
and also i did get a 3g signal also. my internet was faster. didnt try the upload. would try it again but i can seem to get the same speed as i accidentally did. or maybe it was jst me getting excited on seeing the 3g on my phone.(i am with tmobile)

I am on AT&T and the reason I bought this phone was because, according to the specs in the FCC site, it has LTE Band 17 (which is the most common one for AT&T).
I was only getting 3G (HSPA+) speeds. I followed the following procedure to enable LTE for data and still be able to place/receive phone calls:
Do this at your own risk
Open the dial pad
Type: *#0011# to enter Service Mode (Be very careful with what you do here)
Note: You need to be rooted for this to work
Once in Service Mode, do the following:
Tap the menu button and tap Back
Tap the menu button again and select "Key Input" and enter an upper case Q and press OK
Tap the menu button again and select "Key Input" and enter 4 zeroes (0000) and press OK
Wait from 5 to 15 seconds. You'll see the Main Menu
Choose option [2]: UE SETTING & INFO
Choose option [1]: SETTING
Choose option [1]: PROTOCOL
Choose option [2]: NAS
Choose option [1]: NETWORK CONTROL
Choose option [4]: BAND SELECTION
Choose option [4]: LTE Band Preference
Choose option [7]: LTE ALL (Or you can choose band 17 instead)
Tap the menu button and choose Back (Don't press the back key)
Tap again the menu button and choose Back
Choose option [6]: LTE/WCDMA Mode Only
Press the back key to exit
And that's it: You now have LTE and calls if using AT&T. This won't work with TMobile.
If you reboot your phone, you may need to repeat the steps.

I am confused. I am also on ATT - I bought this phone back when it first came out. All I did was add the ATT APN and then I was able to get LTE just fine. I didn't have to do anything like you described.
So - are you saying you added your APN and still had to go thru all of those steps?

That brings up another question - If I am getting LTE now - does that mean I am already getting data via that Band you mentioned ? Or could it be that I am getting it from some other band? (forgive these noobie type questions - I really don't know that much about this)
and is there a difference between the speeed you can get from any of the different bands?

Try this free app to show you what LTE band you are using
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.simplyadvanced.ltediscovery
Most likely if you are on AT&T is band 17.
The higher the frequency the most difficult it is for the signal to travel farther or into building. You'll better results if you are receiving on 700MHz than 2600MHz, but that is determined by your carrier (although there are ways to manually change it)
Yup my AT&T LTE bands weren't activated as well. Had to go through these steps and they worked perfectly!

Thanks for the informatino - I had no idea that some phones had problems connecting to LTE - I personally never have had that issue with any of the TMOBILE PHONES i have used on ATT (Note 3 and my S5) but its good to know this in case it ever happens with a future phone.
anyway, for grins and gigglesI got the app suggested - but I can't see in the app where it says what band I am using?
I attached a screen shot - can you tell me what I should be looking for?

Hey Miscom. Thank you for the post. I am considering this phone. I am wondering if this phone is fully compatible with all LTE At&t bands? I copied the At&t band info from a post on another forum and pasted it below. I assume that it is correct.
At&t LTE Bands
4G HSPA and HSPA+ use 850Mhz(Band 5) and 1900Mhz(Band 2) bands but it all depends on area if they own a license. LTE uses Band 17(700Mhz), Band 5(850Mhz), Band 2(1900Mhz), Band 4(1700/2100Mhz) currently.
It appears that Band 4(1700/2100) is missing from the SM-G906S specs.

You are correct: Band 4 is missing. For AT&T only band 17 is available in the G906S.
Band 17 is the main LTE band for AT&T. I traveled by car a few days ago from Tennessee to New York and except for a few places, I got LTE most of the time. Never saw E, only 3G (AT&T's 4G) and LTE.
Same here I have LTE pretty much 99% everywhere I go. I'm on AT&T as well.
That is good news. Do you guys know if there will be ROM support by cyanogen for this phone?
Also. Where did you guys get yours?

What APN did you use?
I found this on AT&T official website,
Your device will need to work on one of these GSM network frequencies:
AT&T Multi-band GSM
UMTS, LTE or unlocked Multi-band GSM - 850/1900 MHz
UMTS - 850/1900 MHz
LTE Band 2 - 1900 MHz
LTE Band 4 - 1700 MHz
LTE Band 5 - 800 MHz
LTE Band 17 - 700 MHz
I'm planning on getting a Meizu Mx4 Pro to play around with but it only supports the 1900mhz band for 3G. I am on T-mobile and only the refarmed areas use the 1900mhz band. Is there a way to test with my Nexus 6 via some app or settings whether my area is using the 1900mhz band? I also read somewhere that if you get T-mobile LTE you are in a refarmed area as the 1700mhz AWS band is being used for LTE instead of 3G and the 1900mhz has been refarmed there for 3G instead, although I am taking the statement with a grain of salt for now.

I think that will tell you what frequency you are on, but not allow you to set a specific frequency. To my knowledge there is no way to do that on the Nexus 6 yet. Could be wrong?
The data service menu is missing on this phone.
You can get into the Field Test Settings, but I highly recommend not jacking with anything....I went in there for a look see, and when I backed out I was somehow in GSM mode and could NOT get back to CDMA until I did a complete nuke and repave of the Google Factory images to get back the CDMA network.
YMMV...but be warned

If multiple bands are available in an area, LTE Discovery will not show you the additional bands, only the one you are using. You'd need to use a service screen to manually set your phone to a specific band, which is not possible currently. Maybe OP can chime in with more detail.

I don't think we need further explanation from the op. It seems clear to me that he is trying to see whether his area has been re-farmed to band 2 1900mhz or has been left at the usual band 4 1700mhz.
Using LTE discovery will show him what band he is connected to on his phone. If it will be band 4, than his new phone he is trying to get will not have LTE. Although sometimes both bands are available so in that case he would have to have the ability to switch.
Switching bands is possible through phone info screen accessible using an activity launcher of some sort. Once you're in phone info , hit menu and select radio band. But I don't think that's what he initially was looking for.

Perhaps, but there is no known phone accessible screen found on the Nexus 6 that allows band selection. Some have used this to determine whether certain bands are starting to be rolled out in various areas.
Edit: I'll qualify that the menu exists but does not allow a selection of all LTE bands. I can only select US, 6 or 7 on my phone.

please all not this warning，never use 4636 three dots options menu to select anything it is dangerous to make you lost all signals... Can can search my post in other thread how to write nv6828 value to control LTE bands.
Another side, for OP, to view LTE bands, LTE discovery 3.19 support the real hidden field test menu in as LTE Engineering beta menu. Keyword in below post: @201504

In the phone dialer type *#*#4636#*#* > Device Information > Select More on the top right > Then hit Select radio band. Hopefully that works for you.

Mine says unsuccessful too. When you put a SIM card from a European carrier it should automatically use the bands that carrier uses

Unfortunately the AT&T s6 doesn't have support for WCDMA 900 however GSM 900 is supported. You would have to put your phone is GSM only mode in order to get that. For GSM only mode, in your dialer type *#*#4636#*#* > Device information > There should be a menu that says select preferred network type, select GSM only. This will be much slower than WCDMA but you will have a better signal.
